PUBLIC HEARINGS
Case 2016-04. A public hearing to consider a request from the City of Stillwater for adoption of new
regulations pertaining to parking vehicles on yard areas.
City Planner Wittman provided background on the issue and reviewed results of a public opinion
survey. She reviewed the draft ordinance. She noted she had many phone conversations with
residents who were either for or against the ordinance.
Councilmember Weidner asked for clarification about parking RVs and boats. Ms. Wittman
explained that neither the current nor proposed code prohibit the parking of RVs or boats; it
defines them as vehicles and states vehicles shall be parked on residential driveways or designated
off-street parking areas.
Vice Mayor Polehna opened the public hearing.
Eric White, 8270 Neal Avenue North, spoke against the proposed regulations, stating they restrict
all citizens for a few problem properties. In the winter, it is often necessary to use yard parking.
He expressed concerns about the cost and environmental impacts of requiring hardscaped parking
Page 3 of 11
City Council Meeting March 8, 2016
surfaces. He feels that the regulations should be restricted to front yards only; gravel should be
allowed as a lower cost option for citizens.
Bill White, 620 Rice Street West, spoke against the proposed ordinance, stating that significant
yard parking problems seem isolated. The proposed ordinance would limit residents' choices,
create new bureaucratic hurdles and cost residents significant money to create a parking pad,
especially with smaller lots.
Rob Dombrowsky, 924 South Seventh Street, spoke against the proposed regulations which he
feels would cause excessive runoff and cause a great burden to a large number of people to
appease a few.
Michael Wodaszewski, 2829 Icerose Lane, spoke against the ordinance, saying that neighbors
should be able to work out their problems without passing a new ordinance. If passed, the
ordinance would upset many people.
Rob SanCartier, 216 Owens Street South, presented 240-260 signatures on a petition opposing
the regulations. He feels the ordinance would take away residents' choices and add unnecessary
costs for those who have boats, RVs and other vehicles. He opposes the requirement of permits
and urged the Council to reject the regulations.
Mike Brochman, 12770 McKusick, a driveway contractor who has built many driveways in
Stillwater, stated he is against the proposed 5' setback because there are many properties in
Stillwater where it would be impossible to comply- it would result in a driveway only five or six
feet wide.
Gary Gerds, 2270 Oak Glen Court, stated he was originally supportive of the regulations, but
listening to the testimony has changed his mind. He understands the concerns about more runoff.
He can see there are two sides to the issue.
Sam Nelson, 704 Oak Street, agreed with previous comments, and pointed out that making it cost
prohibitive for people to park boats and RVs does not seem like the proper solution for a blight
issue. Aesthetically it would not make any difference if they were parked on gravel - what the
ordinance really does is prohibit people who ca not afford to build the parking pads from parking
their vehicles on their properties.
David O'Brien, 409 Holcombe Street, agreed with previous comments in opposition to the
ordinance. He feels the regulations would burden homeowners especially in older parts of the City
where lots are smaller. He believes comparing Stillwater to other cities makes no sense because
of Stillwater's uniqueness.
Steve Meister, 909 South Fourth Street, agreed with the majority of the previous comments. He
feels if residents ca not park vehicles on their grass, they will park more vehicles on the street,
causing traffic problems.
Nick Stokman, 432 Sixth Street, stated he moved to Stillwater three weeks ago and enjoys the
small town feel. He would like to get a fishing boat and is disappointed that may not be an option
anymore. He opposes the ordinance.
Eric Solberg, 2064 Oak Glen Drive, stated he brought the issue to the City because he felt
regulation is necessary to avoid situations like a 35 foot motorhome parked next to a house, or
three vehicles parked on the lawn. It diminishes the character of the city. He clarified that the
regulation would not apply to backyards - only the front and side yards. He feels there should be
consideration for gravel. There may be many people who support the proposed ordinance who are
Page 4 of 11
City Council Meeting March 8, 2016
not at the meeting. 61% of survey respondents agreed that yard parking should be regulated in
some way.
Leah Kimmel, 2517 Hidden Valley Lane, told the Council the vast majority of her neighbors had
no idea about the parking ordinance and are opposed to it. She feels that 300 surveys were not a
good cross-section of the population. She urged the Council not to restrict parking in side yards.
Martin Swanlund, 809 St. Croix Avenue West, stated he had no idea of the proposed ordinance.
He lives on a one acre wooded lot. It would not be affordable to resurface his side yard for his
boat; it would be worse if he had to park it in the backyard.
Jerry Clark, 812 William Street, spoke against the proposed regulation, saying if he wanted all the
regulations of surrounding communities,he would move there and not live in Stillwater. He feels
the survey questions were poorly written. He supports some restrictions on yard parking but the
proposed ordinance is excessively restrictive.
Mike Wodaszewski told the Council if they really want to get the word out about the proposed
ordinance, send a letter. A lot of residents were not aware of the proposal until Mr. SanCartier
informed them.
Bob Hogoboom, 896 Sunrise Court, stated the average lot in Croixwood probably would not
accommodate a slab beside the garage. He opposes the regulation.
Jessica Johnson with her daughter Isabella, 405 Oak Street, thanked Mr. SanCartier for putting a
sign on Olive Street about the proposal. She would not have known about the proposal otherwise.
She feels homeowners should be allowed good judgement in how they keep their home;neighbors
should respectfully discuss problems together and adapt when there are problems without the
enactment of more ordinances. She feels it is outrageous to regulate how many cars residents may
park on their property.
Theodore Gillen, 1011 West Myrtle Street, pointed out that the proposed ordinance requirement
that the parking space be contiguous to driveways seems to be flawed because some properties do
not have a driveway. Also the depth should not be restricted to 6-8". He urged the Council to be
very careful in considering the ordinance, and added that notification of residents about the
proposed regulation was very poor.
Rob SanCartier thanked the residents in the audience for listening to him when he came to their
doors to explain the issue.
Ethan Berry stated he is against the parking regulations. Homeowners should have a right to park
a vehicle in their front yard. He feels that putting asphalt under a trailer or RV would not solve
the problem if the Council is trying to eliminate blight.
Vice Mayor Polehna closed the public hearing.
Vice Mayor Polehna clarified the City is not banning the parking of all campers, boats and RVs
on the side of their houses - existing slabs will be permitted to remain. Rumors that all side yard
parking is being banned are incorrect. One of the proposals it to put a hard surface under the
vehicle,but the ordinance does not ban parking by the side of the house. He sees other points that
may need further adjustment,for instance to allow parking adjacent to the structure.He questioned
impacts on existing driveways.
City Planner Wittman explained that existing driveways may be maintained and repaired in their
existing condition; they are allowed to be maintained but not expanded. The ordinance could be
Page 5 of 11
City Council Meeting March 8, 2016
reworded to explicitly state that reconstruction of existing driveways would be allowed in their
existing setback location.
Councilmember Menikheim remarked he was impressed by staff efforts on the issue. When the
draft ordinance was presented at the Planning Commission in January, people did not seem to
hear what Ms. Wittman stated about existing non-conforming driveways being allowed to be
maintained. He feels that old Stillwater is changing and there is a new demographic of people
coming to live. The Council has to represent all residents. Speakers represent a minority of people
living in the City. He has not made up his mind yet on the ordinance.
Councilmember Junker commended Mr. Solberg for bringing the issue to the Council,but he feels
there has to be some alternative to address the blight of the massive RVs or boats that people park
in their yards. He does not support amendment of the existing regulations.
Councilmember Weidner commented that it sound like it was a new issue; however he has been
talking about the need for a yard parking ordinance for at least two years. He represents the Oak
Glen area which is unique. Yard parking is the number one complaint he has heard in his ward
and what residents do on small lots affects adjacent neighbors. He understands property rights
and good citizenship, but that does not exist everywhere. He encouraged residents to sign up to
get an email of the agendas to learn what is happening at the City. He feels parking on grass in
the front yard needs to be eliminated, and the number of recreational vehicles parked in the back
or side yard should be restricted to two. He pointed out that the proposed regulation does not stop
residents from parking vehicles in their driveways. He feels there should be a size limit of 30 feet
and under for vehicles parked in driveways or yards, and commercial vehicles should not be
allowed to park in back or side yards. He would like to revise the draft ordinance to include these
things.
Councilmember Junker commented that definition is needed to avoid someone throwing a bucket
of gravel in the grass and calling it an improved parking pad.
Vice Mayor Polehna stated he sees no problem with gravel and would like that to be included as
an approved off-street parking surface for side yards contiguous to the driveway or adjacent to
the structure. He would like staff to include language confirming that reconstruction of existing
non-conforming driveways is allowed.
Councilmember Weidner suggested that staff be directed to draft language regulating the number
of vehicles parked in back and side yards. Vice Mayor Polehna stated he would have no problem
with that. Councilmember Menikheim stated that would be a major change to the ordinance; he
is in favor of getting more public input and does not want to restrict the number of vehicles.
Councilmember Weidner asked other Councilmembers their thoughts on regulating the size of
vehicles that are parked in yards, for instance 30 feet. Vice Mayor Polehna stated he is not as
concerned about size of vehicles,as there are campers now that are over 30 feet. He feels a permit
should not be required to construct a pad on the side of a garage.
Councilmember Junker stated he would like to see the draft go back to the Planning Commission.
Councilmember Weidner asked if the Council could agree that parking on grass in the front yard
should be prohibited. Councilmember Menikheim stated he can agree to that.
City Planner Wittman stated she has enough direction to make some modifications to the proposed
ordinance for further review by the Council.

Case 2016-05. A public hearing to consider the 2016 Street, Sidewalk and Utility improvements
(Project No. 2016-02).
Public Works Director Sanders summarized the street, sidewalk and utility improvements
proposed for the Highlands neighborhood, Benson neighborhood, Tower Drive and Olive Street,
and proposed street reconstruction in the southeast area. Total estimated project costs are
$1,951,477.73. Mr. Sanders noted that mill and overlay projects are assessed 80% to the
benefitting property owner and street reconstruction project are assessed 70% to the property
owner. Industrial Park properties are assessed at 100%.The interest rate for the assessments would
be 4.5%. Staff recommends preparation of plans and specifications.
Vice Mayor Polehna opened the public hearing.
Doug Wightman, 609 Olive Street West, spoke against the proposed assessment rate of 70%
which seems unfair. Olive Street is one of the few streets that runs all the way downtown so it has
a lot of outside traffic. The assessment is an undue burden for residents.
Tom Murphy,601 Olive Street West,stated he compared the costs of the Olive Street project with
similar street projects and found it is excessive- $140 per square foot compared with$90-100 on
other projects. He feels property values will not increase proportionally based on the amount of
the assessment. Most of the traffic on Olive is through traffic which has resulted in deterioration
of the street. Residents should not be expected to fund the improvements to the extent proposed.
Councilmember Weidner asked for clarification on the purpose of the public hearing.
City Attorney Magnuson stated that the assessments are not actually determined until after the
work is done, and are discussed at the assessment hearing. The focus of tonight's hearing is
whether or not the improvement is needed.
Mr. Murphy added that the project is needed,that his concern is with the assessment rate. He also
feels the contract should be let earlier than May when contractors are busy.
Mr. Wightman stated he also feels the project needs to be done.
Doug Martnaler, 510 West Olive Street, stated the project is needed, but he believes he will not
see the value in the project if the assessment rate is as high as proposed.
Art Junker, 1164 Parkwood Lane, asked if there will be any bump outs constructed. Public Works
Director Sanders responded that the City is required to do water volume control but Olive Street
has no boulevard area to do that, so there will have to be alternative solutions. Mr. Junker gave
suggestions for handling drainage.
A resident asked about the possibility of existing sanitary sewer needing repair after the project is
done.
Public Works Director Sanders replied that the sanitary sewer in the area has been televised and
it appears to be in good shape.
The public hearing was closed.

Case 2016-06. A public hearing to consider a request by Matt Twomey on behalf of Gopher REO,
LLC, for approval of a Zoning Text Amendment to allow a Senior Care Living Facility in a
Townhome District. Located at 1167 Parkwood Lane, in the TH-Town Home Zoning District. PID:
3203020320016.
City Planner Wittman reviewed the request. Matt Twomey has applied for a Zoning Text
Amendment (ZAT) to allow for Senior Care Living Facilities to be permitted by Special Use
Permit in the Townhouse (TH) Zoning District. The applicant currently has three contiguous
townhouse-zoned parcels under contract. If the Zoning Text Amendment were approved, he
would then submit an application for a Special Use Permit for a Senior Care Living Facility on
the parcels located at 1167 Parkwood Lane and 6322 Stillwater Boulevard North. Ms. Wittman
went on to state that in a 3-2 vote, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the
proposed ZAT. Staff recommends the approval of the first reading of the Ordinance associated
with ZAT/2016-06 and scheduling the item as an unfinished item of business for the March 22
City Council meeting.
Vice Mayor Polehna opened the public hearing.
Matt Twomey, applicant, informed the Council there is great demand for affordable senior
housing. His facility would be one story, smaller and more intimate, and more affordable,
especially for those on medical assistance, than existing facilities in the area. The land on
Parkwood Lane is ideally located for a senior living facility. He stated that traffic impacts of a 40-
bed facility would be equal to or less than those of a townhome development. He reported he
asked three realty companies in Stillwater how the zoning change would affect property values,
and they responded that there should be no effect on surrounding property values. He invited
Councilmembers' thoughts on the zoning amendment as well as his specific project on Parkwood.
Michael Hughes, 1172 Parkwood Lane, stated that when he purchased his home, he understood
that the two adjacent vacant lots were zoned for townhomes and was fine with that. He feels that
if all areas in the City that would be impacted by the ZAT had been noticed about the hearing, as
his neighborhood was, there may be a lot more responses. There is a lot of available land that
could be developed for such a project where there would be no zoning changes needed. The 40-
bed facility is being proposed where there would have been two residences under existing zoning.
He hopes the ZAT will be denied.
Martha Morse, 1172 Parkwood Lane, remarked that the ZAT is before the Council because an
individual has found two lots in the middle of a neighborhood that are available for development
and he would like to try his luck at a senior living facility. She presented documents showing a
substantial number of assisted living vacancies in the area. Until a needs assessment is done, the
City should not change the zoning. She feels there are better areas in Stillwater to develop senior
living facilities where they would not disrupt the neighborhood. The demand for townhomes in
Stillwater is great. She urged the Council to deny the ZAT, and presented signatures from
residents in townhome communities in various wards in the City who oppose the ZAT, as well as
comments from neighbors who were not able to attend the meeting who oppose the amendment.
Page 8 of 11
City Council Meeting March 8, 2016
Sandy Giesen, 1181 Parkwood Lane, stated she opposes the change in zoning, in agreement with
the previous two speakers. She feels that a senior living facility would be wonderful if they were
initially planned as a unit which is not the case in this situation.
Debra Keech, 1156 Parkwood Lane, stated she agrees with her neighbors in opposing the zoning
amendment. Other areas of the community would be better suited for senior care facilities. She
urged the Council to deny the proposed amendment.
Art Junker, 1164 Parkwood Lane, stated he is against the zoning text amendment. He would not
like to have a senior living facility built next to his home.
Ms. Morse read email from neighbors who were unable to attend the meeting and are opposed to
the zoning text amendment for reasons related to site access and traffic safety.
Mr. Hughes asked the Council to consider zoning amendments at a later time with the
Comprehensive Plan update rather than considering one narrow section of residential zones at a
time.
Vice Mayor Polehna closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Weidner stated he feels the amendment is too broad; the facility being discussed
is a commercial use in a residential neighborhood and he is not in favor of the amendment.
Councilmember Junker stated he agrees the facility is not appropriate for the neighborhood.
Vice Mayor Polehna stated he feels the site is not the right place for a senior facility. He also feels
the amendment is too broad; feedback would be needed from the entire community for such a
broad zoning change.
Councilmember Menikheim agreed that the zoning should be dealt with in 2018 when the Council
looks at the comprehensive plan.
Motion by Councilmember Weidner, seconded by Councilmember Junker, to deny the request by
Matt Twomey for a zoning text amendment to allow a senior care living facility in a townhome
district.

NEW BUSINESS
Possible approval of Special Use Permit request from Lakeview Hospital to open a sleep center at
850 West Churchill Street
City Planner Wittman explained that the applicant is requesting a new Special Use Permit to allow
for the conversion of an existing hospital office building into a sleep study center, a service
currently provided within the hospital. She further stated that on a 4 to 1 vote, the Commission
recommended approval with 12 conditions. Staff recommends approval with one additional
condition: the property owner shall completely enclose all exterior trash receptacles on all four
sides.
Ted Wegleitner, Lakeview Hospital CEO, informed the Council that the demand for sleep studies
is growing dramatically and the current facility cannot meet demand. The hospital has no interest
in moving beyond the space it already owns; there is no reason to spread more into the
Page 9 of 11

neighborhood. Lighting and sound will comply with the City's requirements and respect the
community's needs. The new use will involve less traffic than the building currently generates.

River south of downtown show erosion. Staff recommends that Council authorize staff to solicit
quotes for a bank stabilization study in Bridgeview Park and to use money that was returned from
the US Corps of Engineers Levy Project to fund the study. Approximately 3500 feet of bank
would be included in the study, which is estimated to cost$50,000- $70,000.
